Bedtime Stories in Tamil for Kids Anuradha Hi I am Krishna I am in 5th Grade . My paati’s name is Anuradha and she tells me super stories . So she tell the stories here and I edit the podcast and post ! Enjoy 😀😀 Stories to wake you up: wisdom tales and Jewish stories with Yaakov Nadler Yaakov Nadler Stories I have collected over the years. Stories that move me, stories which wake me up. Inspired by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov’s Sipurei Maysiyos: “Some people tell stories to put their children to sleep: I tell stories to wake people up”. My hope is to impart wisdom stories without spelling out the moral of the story. I want each listener to find their own meaning. I hope to keep sharing the stories, tales, and anecdotes I have in my collection. If you have a story to share I would love to host you on the podcast. I’ll travel to your community to share the stories live! Good Mornin’ Kelly! Stephanie Porten Good Mornin’ Kelly is about the analyzing the stuff that’s on my mind - pop culture, politics, my 80 pound puppy, or all three at once. It all boils down to how it affects the stories I tell, the manner in which I absorb the stories I consume, and how it all relates to each other. I’m basically a post-grad English major that misses developing a thesis. Come geek out with me! Meeting Mental Health Tiffany Let's discuss all things mental health! Join me as I tell stories of my personal experiences dealing with anxiety, depression and other mental health related issues. Together we can work towards putting an end to the negative stigma surrounding mental health, and help shed light on a topic that hits home for so many of us. Once you understand mental health illness, and meet others who face similar battles, it will become very clear that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
